Bittersweet

**Authors note: Hey everyone! It's been awhile since I posted. Recently I got into a new otome game that was licensed in the US by the company Aksys, Sweet Fuse At Your Side. In Japan the series is known by Bakudan Handan. Since I recently got fairly obsessed with it, I became intrigued with the secret route character named Makoto Mikami and decided to write a scripted lemon story featuring him and the female protagonist. This story is rated R-18, pairing: Saki Inafune x Makoto Mikami. I do not own these characters, they belong to Otomate. Also this story is very SPOILER HEAVY, so read at your own risk.**

"Bittersweet"

???: ...Saki-chan?

*a figure steps closer to Saki's side as she's lost in a deep sleep with her head on none other than Count Hogstein's desk. The figure reaches his hand toward her, but she begins to wake before he even touches her*

Saki: ...Nnn. *her eyes slit open and flutter a few times as she becomes aware of where she is and who the figure is beside her* Mm, Makoto?

Makoto: *grins widely at her and slips his hands into the pocket of his overalls* Haha, I wasn't expecting you to fall asleep right after breakfast like that. Did you not get enough sleep last night?

Saki: *she blinks sleepily as she attempts to recall what happened prior to her nap. Her eyes suddenly shoot open* I-is there a game going on right now?!

Makoto: See for yourself. *directs her attention to the display screens on the wall across from them to show Shidou, Wakasa, Meoshi, Shirabe and Urabe all sitting in front of musical instruments and trying their best to play along with the large screen in front of them*

Saki: !!

Makoto: You suddenly fell asleep at the desk right when things were beginning to get interesting. I'm curious as to how this game is going to end, seeing how your friends are really fumbling around out there. *glances away from the monitors back to Saki's worried face*

Saki: ... *focused on the monitors. She sighs heavily* I wish I was out there to help them... I hope nothing goes wrong...

Makoto: *sits on the edge of the desk she's sitting at and hits a button on a nearby panel that zooms in on what's happening on screen* It works out on my end, at least. You see, I felt pretty guilty about having you participate like your friends are. Witnessing your ability to figure out the first few games with your sharp intuition was certainly interesting, but overtime it wasn't worth the risk of you getting injured in the process of participating. 

Saki: *confused* ...What makes me any different from them? Why would it matter if only I'M injured in these games?

Makoto: *laughs softly* I already told you, remember? *looks back at the monitors with almost-cold eyes* You're not one of them. You're special, Saki-chan.

Saki: *looks off, thinking deeply* You.. You're still willing to release the other hostages, aren't you?

Makoto: I'm alright with it, so long as I can keep that dreadful man here.

Saki: *briefly zones out for a minute and returns her focus to the monitor, hearing the voices of her friends*

Shirabe: *on the monitor* It's going too damn fast! I'm doing my best just to keep up!

Shidou: Hang on a little longer!

Makoto: *looks over Saki again as she watches the monitors* Although you're no longer participating in the games, would you still be willing to entertain me...?

Saki: *her eyes meet with his* What?

Makoto: *holds his open hand out to her* Come with me and I'll show you what I'm talking about.

Saki: ...? *hesitantly takes his hand and stands with him. He catches her off guard as he suddenly sweeps his right arm around her waist and pulls her against him* H-hey! *looks up at him and is surprised to find out how close his face is to hers* What are you doing, Makoto?!

Makoto: Sorry about this. *cups the side of her face in his hand* It's just bothering me to see you so concerned about those friends of yours.

Saki: H-huh?! Why? They're my friends!

Makoto: Yes, but they're also men, aren't they? *tries to not chuckle as he sees the confusion plastered all over Saki's face*

Saki: What on earth does that have to do with anything? *freezes as he softly runs his thumb along her bottom lip. She finds herself having trouble breathing as she notices the serious but affectionate gaze he's giving her* Makoto...

Makoto: *suddenly sighs with his eyes closed and a smile on his face* I've planned something like this for years now, only to be right here in the middle of it all and stumble over a girl that I've just met... *opens his eyes to her* You're something else, you know that? 

Saki: *her heart thumps heavily in her chest while Makoto closes the distance between them. She pulls away from the kiss to finally take the breath she's been holding in, but he grasps onto her shoulders and gets control of her lips again* What... what are you doing? *his mouth moves down to Saki's neck as he breathes on her and runs a chill down her spine* Ah!  Stop it, Makoto...

Makoto: *has one of his hands on the only bare part of her thigh* You've got goosebumps...

Saki: !! *grabs his wrist and pulls his hand away* I said, stop it! *kissed again, but even harder than before. She suddenly feels his tongue inside of her mouth getting lost with her own. As her body begins to relax, she notices that the grip he has on her shoulder has softened despite his hand on her waist has pulled her even closer against his own body. There's something gouging into her waist that makes her curious enough to search for it with her hand. When her hand finds it, she hears him take a sharp breath inside of her mouth*

Makoto: Saki-chan...

Saki: ...Huh? *releases herself from the kiss to look down and see that her hand is gripped around the erection inside of his overalls* Ah! *quickly yanks her hand away, going into a full body blush*

Makoto: ...Could you please kneel down for me? 

Saki: W-what for?! *the grip on her shoulders returns as he helps guide her to sit on the floor on her knees. He firmly plops down in the chair at Count Hogstein's desk in front of her* 

Makoto: *sighs, unzipping the fly on his overalls* If you're too embarrassed to let me see you, you can stay underneath the desk if you want. *his penis comes out of his pants and touches her lips. Makoto places his hand on top of her head* Just treat it like I was treating your lips awhile ago.

Saki: *still baffled by the turn of events, but the soft touch he has on her head makes her feel almost welcomed into it.* Ah... *opens her mouth and carefully gives the very tip a small lick. She continues glazing it with her tongue, unsure of what to do. With a grip on his tip, she begins to provide him long licks along the sides of the shaft, surprised by the stiff feeling underneath her tongue. She attempts to look at his face while her mouth returns to the tip of his penis and sees that his eyes are closed. After she perches her lips against his tip, she pushes some of his girth inside of her mouth.*

Makoto: Nng... *furrows his brows together as she begins to pick up the pace and starts to apply pressure against him as it it goes deeper inside of her mouth* God... *his fingers curl into her hair* You're teasing me... Just do it.

Saki: *suddenly picks up the pace as she quickly thrusts his penis inside of her mouth with a pressure that makes his head spin. She realizes that she's been so lost in their actions that she's forgotten that the sounds of her friends voices are still heard in the background*

Makoto: Ah... Ah... *taking steady breaths* Saki-chan... *his eyes drift over to the monitors that display what's going on in the game. He can't help but smirk to himself thinking about what's happening underneath Count Hogstein's desk as the participants struggle in that room* 

Saki: *has her hands clenched tightly to his pants as she licks up along the underside. As Saki glides his shaft back into her mouth, she becomes more aware of the voices of her friends on the monitor and stops* .... *has a guilty feeling settling in her stomach* This isn't right...

Makoto: ... *looks down at her* But I was hoping you would help to keep me entertained...

Saki: ...Is it really too late for me to participate in today's game? *pulling her face away from his lap*

Makoto: *blinks* You can't participate in one of the games after it's started. It's one of the rules. *makes eye contact with her and is surprised by her heated, angry face* ?!

Saki: WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!

Makoto: Eep! *freezes*

Saki: *stands* You may consider everyone here to be your enemy, but they're... they're still my friends! Setting up a 7-day scenario like this... How is doing something like this any better than what Urabe's father did?! *lowers her head* When will you realize that...?

Makoto: ... *furrows his eyebrows together*

Saki: Y-you also keep saying how "special" I am... but I'm just another person you want to play games with, aren't I?

Makoto: ...Sorry. *sighs and pulls her back into his arms again*

Saki: ?!

Makoto: Not only are you something else, you're also pretty selfish too. You've already gotten a hold of my heart, but you also want a hold of my ambitions. *laughs casually* What more do you want...?

Saki: *pouts* You're pretty selfish too, you know. You want to have your revenge no matter how much it will hurt other people. It's not right...

Makoto: *grinning, eyes closed* As much as it hurts to admit, you're absolutely right... although I have never admitted to being a particularly good person. *reopens his eyes, and looks down at Saki in his arms* ...Of course you're special to me, Saki-chan. You were the self-chosen seventh hero in my games that I ended up hesitating over. *places his right hand on top of her head* I may no longer want you to join in with your friends, but that doesn't mean I don't have any intentions to play games of my very own with you.

Saki: What...? *her chest flutters as he leans in closer toward her and reintroduces his lips to hers. She gasps when she feels his tongue in his mouth again* Mmph...

Makoto: *during mid-kiss, he cuts his eyes over to the monitors on the wall and notices that the group is in celebration from successfully finishing the game on stage* ...Looks like your friends made it out just fine, despite the high risks put in place. *sighs as he hits a button on the panel behind Saki as well as another smaller button that mutes the sound on the monitor* I really don't feel like congratulating them, so I'll just leave all that to the piglet instead. I doubt they'd want to speak to an excited Hogstein anyway...

Saki: *winces as Makoto takes soft breaths against the side of her neck, she tries to settle herself to get more confortable with sitting on his legs with her back against the edge of the desk* You don't mean... *she almost jumps when Makoto suddenly grabs a hold of her hand and returns it to his bare erection* A-Ah! It's still like that?!

Makoto: *scratches the side of his check almost nervously* Ah ha... More like it's like that again... 

Saki: *purses her lips together as she rubs her fingers along it curiously* ... *reaches down to the zipper on her shorts and pulls it down. Saki also undoes the button above it while trying to ignore Makoto's fixated stare*

Makoto: *looks stunned and red* Why don't you just... take it off?

Saki: Gosh! Exactly when did you get so perverted anyway?! *gets off his lap and quickly pulls the shorts down her legs, kicking them off of her feet. She decides to sit directly in front of him on the edge of the desk in her hoodie, black stockings and pink panties. Watching Makoto stand up out of his chair and move closer towards her cues Saki to lay her back down against the desktop*

Makoto: *reclines his palms against the top of the desk as he hovers over her, taking in the sight of her. He notices her legs are spread apart and laughs, causing her to become self-conscious and close them up* Haha, you were fine just the way you were, Saki-chan.

Saki: *slowly opens her legs back up* What do you have in mind? 

Makoto: Something you should like. *leans forward and pulls her panties aside to give her a couple of curious licks along her clit, which causes her to audibly yelp* 

Saki: M-Makoto!! *face bright red and surprised*

Makoto: *focuses on sucking at her clit while he tries to sneak his middle finger inside of her. Despite her being pretty wet, getting his finger inside is tough due to how tight she is*

Saki: Nng...

Makoto: *grinning as he continues to lick at her, starting to move his finger* I told you that you'd like it.

Saki: Actually... I don't.

Makoto: *shoots his head up in surprise* You don't?! *retracts his hands and seems suddenly flustered and confused* What was I doing wrong!? It's not I've ever done this sort of thing before...

Saki: ... *can't help but smile when she sees how embarrassed he's acting* 

Makoto: I-it's not funny... *starting to look somewhat annoyed*

Saki: No, no! *waves her hands around frantically* It's not that I find this funny! I just thought you were being sort of... cute, that's all. *looks off* I've um... never really done anything like this before either, so... It's super new and embarrassing to me. Not to mention I'm not really sure I know what I'm doing either...

Makoto: ... *grins* What's funny is that we seemed to know just what to do up until this point... *sigh* So what was I doing wrong, exactly?...

Saki: Well, I'm uh... a virgin. *feeling super awkward talking about this* So naturally there's plenty of things that can cause me pain...

Makoto: Oh... *bites his bottom lip, contemplating* Well this is putting me in quite of a bind because truthfully... I'm really tempted to have sex with you.

Saki: W-What?! *feels likes her heart's about to explode from beating so hard* 

Makoto: *looking down at her* Just looking at you like this right now is driving me crazy...

Saki: ... *with the feeling of butterflies in her stomach, she reaches toward him and places her hands on the sides of his face. When he leans his face in towards hers, she aggressively kisses him and pulls her arms up around the back of his neck and along his shoulders. She feels like her whole body is tingling every time they pull their mouths apart to take a deep breath only for their lips to reconnect. His hands wander along her chest until he eventually decides to use both hands to slide up her hoodie, undershirt and bra all together until her breasts are exposed. She shudders when she feels his ice cold fingers pinching at the tips of her nipples* Ah...

Makoto: Saki-chan... *is lost in the kiss as he desperately grabs at Saki's exposed breasts and strokes at her nipples with his thumbs. He bites her bottom lip and gives another hard pinch to her nipples*

Saki: Ah!!

Makoto: Saki-chan... *breathing hard as he quickly repositions himself to try giving her oral again by first giving her hard laps along her clitorus, then begins to tongue at her hole that's even wetter than before and is gradually getting looser. After getting a good taste of her fluids, he returns his mouth back to hers so she can taste it too* Dammit... I want to... *feeling her breath against his face* I want to so much... *glides two fingers along her slick clit, wanting so badly to stick them inside of her but refuses to because he's afraid to hurt her* 

Saki: Nng... *with the aftertaste of her own flavor on her tongue, she leans forward to Makoto and takes hold of his wrist. After retracting away the fingers that was intimately touching her, she instead gets a grip on his hips and beckons him toward her* Makoto... Instead of using your hands or mouth, you could try using something else... *looking up at his face with beaming cheeks*

Makoto: *surprised* You don't mean... *gently presses the end of his shaft against her entrance. He notices she's shaking her head*

Saki: Not there... yet. Go up a little more.

Makoto: ... *shifts himself some, allowing himself to give her clitoris a slick and slow grind* ...Oh. That's not bad. *starts a rhythm, grinning at the relaxed expression Saki's wearing* I didn't expect you to be the adventurous type. *watches her body as it bounces and moves against his own, his hands cupped around the back of her thighs. The wet sound that's produced from his shaft sliding against her is tempting him all the more* Are you sure you should be doing these sort of things with your enemy?

Saki: *bites her lip, breathing softly* But... but I want to help you. *feels his pace get quicker and harder* Hey, be careful! Don't think that I've forgotten about that wound of... yours. *kicks her head back* Nng... Oh!

Makoto: *moves his left hand off of the back of her leg to her left breast, which he grips possessively* Someone like me doesn't need help anymore. Even the possibility of my wound reopening isn't a concern for me. *slows his pace to a crawl and eventually stops. He carefully looks over her exasperated body and pulls his hips away from her* By the end of the seventh day, it won't even matter anymore, will it? *touches her soaked entrance with the tips of his fingers* ...After playing charades like this, the only choice you're given me is to simply take you. *meets her eyes with his own darkened ones* Is that what you want?

Saki: ...! Stop that! *sits up and suddenly buries her face into his chest, gripping onto his clothes* Stop talking about yourself like that! I know that this whole scenario is your doings and that, no matter how you look at it, it's not right... but why would it not even matter if you died?! *jerks up her face to his and gives Makoto a look of desperation, causing his twisted expression to fade* You've been hurting all alone this whole time... Why would you even deserve that? 

Makoto: ...Look at all I've done. *grins sadly* Even now, you're not here because you want to be. I've forced you to be here.

Saki: *is hit with a sudden heat of frustration* Now look here! Yes, you are accountable for the reason I got here to begin with! Despite that, you still gave me a choice: to leave or stay and help everyone. I made that choice of my own accord and I'm choosing to stay despite the dangers! *plants her hand firmly against her chest* I'm here to help out you and my friends because I want to be! Got that?!

Makoto: ... *after staring at her momentarily in awe, he pulls her back into another kiss*

Saki: Mmph! *gradually leans herself back against the top of the desk as he repositions himself over her during the kiss* I want to stay here with the others... and you...

Makoto: *breaks his lips from hers* So you're the kind of girl that will yell at me even when you're practically naked, huh?

Saki: *mouth gaping open, cheeks red* Wha-!!

Makoto: *wipes his wet lips with the back of his right hand* Not that I particularly mind that much. *smiles* How could I?

Saki: ...Be careful about that wound, okay? I wouldn't want to have to rebandage you because you opened it up moving around too much.

Makoto: *pressing himself down at her entrance again looking pleased* Whatever you say, Saki-chan. *tightens his grip on her hips as he starts to work his way in, noticing resistance right away* Nng... Tight. *moves his hips against her slowly but carefully. He can tell Saki's easing up as he goes along, but it's a gradual process*

Saki: *has her teeth sunk into a part of her hoodie that's against her face as a result of her top being lifted up. Her mouth and eyebrows seem to squirm with his movements, her eyes closed tight* ...

Makoto: ...I feel like I can start to move more now. *looks down at himself and something catches his eye* Blood?

Saki: *laughs nervously with her teeth still latched into her jacket* Eh heh, just... ignore that for now, I guess.

Makoto: *visibly concerned as he picks up the pace with her, hearing that wet sloshing sound more and more as he goes along* Nng... I admit, this is way better than resting my head on your lap. *laughs* 

Saki: *takes slow breaths as the sharp pain gradually turns into somewhat a sore* Oh! *balls her hands up into fists on the desk as she suddenly felt him pound deeper inside of her* Nn...

Makoto: Does it still hurt?

Saki: ...No. Actually, it... *caught off guard as he lifts the bottom half of her body up from the desk some to hit her at a slightly different angle* --Ohhh! Ah! Ah... *squirms her legs a little*

Makoto: Nn... Want to try an even better angle? If you turn around the other way, I can show you something else.

Saki: Hm...? *he pulls away and allows Saki to reposition on the desk by reclining the front of her chest against the top of the desk and leaving her rear end sticking out*

Makoto: *gets himself behind her and slams into her without warning, causing her to gasp out. Makoto grinds her more maliciously than before, rubbing his shaft into the pleasing parts of her inner walls from this position* You're squeezing me so much, Saki... *speeds up the pace as he breathes desperately through his teeth and grabs loosely at her breasts from behind. A grin splits his face when he hears Saki breathing more audibly than before*

Saki: ...Nng. *has her sweaty palms locked tightly on the edge of the desk. Saki feels herself get goosebumps as Makoto leans forward and softly whispers her name into her ear* Ah, Makoto... *takes another sharp breath when Makoto gives her breasts a very hard squeeze* Nn! D-don't you think you're being kind of... rough? *breathes*

Makoto: I can't help it, you're driving me crazy... *continues pounding at her while the tips of his pointer fingers trace along her nipples* I've never felt like this before... It's almost as if I couldn't care what could happen in the world as long as I can keep doing this with you, Saki... *moves one of his hands to her clit to get his finger wet from her, then promptly reaches around her and places his finger into her mouth* What do you think about the way you taste?

Saki: *sucks gently at his finger until he pulls it out of her mouth* It's... odd. *notices he's suddenly takes his penis out of her. When he cups his hand onto the back of her head, she looks over her shoulder to him* ?

Makoto: *sits down in the chair, holding onto his shaft at the base* Could you lend me your mouth again?

Saki: ... Mm. *slowly gets off the desk and places herself on the floor in front of his chair. She wraps her fingers along the bottom of his shaft and begins to carefully lick at the head. A light taste of precum is almost overpowered by her own flavor as she begins to gently suck at his tip.*

Makoto: *returns the gentle touch of his hand to the back of her head while Saki's in the process of thrusting it in and out of her mouth. He feels himself smiling as he watches her earnestly try her best to please him with her eyes halfway open* Tighten your mouth around it some more.

Saki: Mmph... *firmly plants her fingers along his hip bones as she closes her eyes and squeeze her lips around him. After applying more pressure, she moves it quicker and harder inside of her mouth. She notices that he's tensing up, so she takes him out of her mouth and instead gives him hard laps on the underside of his shaft* ...How's that?

Makoto: Keep going...

Saki: ... *nods cutely, trying to ignore the butterflies in her stomach from the aggressiveness in his voice. Without a moment to lose, she quickly crams his shaft in between her lips and gives him the same treatment as before. It doesn't take long for her to realize a trembling in his legs when she works the end of his shaft to reach deeply into the back of her mouth. She realizes that he's starting to take it upon himself to move with her* Mm... *the excitement she gets from hearing his breathing causes her to slip a finger inside of her vagina. She pumps it desperately inside of her as Makoto's hips move faster and his breathing gets louder*

Makoto: *his light brown hair dangling in his face* God dammit... *he thrusts even more aggressively into her mouth after noticing that she's softly moaning against him. His pressure builds up to the point where he can't take it anymore* Saki! *he flings his head back and releases, surprising Saki who quickly has to swallow. He breathes heavily and tries to compose himself to the best of his abilities, despite him shaking like a leaf* Ah... ah... *glances at her and notices she wiping at her mouth*

Saki: That was a lot...

Makoto: *runs his fingers through his hair and sighs* Sorry if I scared you... *takes one more last breath and gets a better look at her* What have you been doing down there anyway?

Saki: !! Um... *tries to hide her hand as fast as she can, but he's already noticed. She watches him as he gets on the floor next to her. Her wrist is suddenly grabbed and pulled up* ?!

Makoto: *starts to lick at the wet tips on her fingers while giving her a fixated gaze* 

Saki: *getting flustered* Wh-what's the deal, anyway?! I thought we were done!

Makoto: I'm done. But you don't seem to be. *carefully pulls her to the floor and situates himself above of her. He takes her by surprise and slides two fingers inside of her, already moving them quickly in and out of her*

Saki: Nng! ...Ha! *parts her legs naturally as he gives his fingers a hard shake inside of her. He slams his lips into her own and their tongues quickly entangle as she starts to break down* Oh.. Faster. *her breathing quickens as he responds. She keeps having to pull away to catch her breath because of the kissing, which results in him turning her head back into the kiss*

Makoto: You're so wet...

Saki: Nng... Slow down. You're stirring me up... *breathing hard*

Makoto: *doesn't comply* "Slow down"? I thought you wanted me to go faster. *shakes his fingers again inside of her and feels her loosening up more and more*

Saki: Ah... But I'm about to... I'm about to!

Makoto: *watches her squirming with tears in her eyes, he decides to kiss her to shut her up*

Saki: Mmph! Ah! *locks her fingers into his collar, pulling at it as hard as she can. Her whole body feels as if it's locking up as her head goes numb. After he breaks the kiss, she looks at him as she breathes harder than ever, trying to catch her breath. She hides her face with her hands, becoming more self-aware* D-don't look at me... I look like a mess.

Makoto: You think so? I think the disheveled look is really cute on you, Saki-chan. *smiles as he helps her pull her hoodie back down*

-Later-

*after some time, Saki has fallen back asleep at the count's desk. Her sleeping face is reclined into her folded arms as she snores quietly. Makoto comes up behind her and gently places a blanket over her shoulders. He gives her another grin and steps over to the large windows behind her that display the night sky. As his eyes scan over the amusement park, he pulls out a dented golden locket from his right pocket. He opens it and closes it repetitively, apparently lost in thought*

Makoto: *mumbling to himself, looking down at the locket that he's fiddling with* "But I want to help you"... *looks back at the night sky and releases a heavy sigh* 

End

Dark Corridors

November ??, 2009

Hamuko: W-wait, senpai… *a gloved hand takes a hold of her chin, lifting her face into a kiss* ! Mmph… *her open eyes shift around cautiously, ensuring that no one else is around. The floor of Tartarus they occupy is dead silent, her every word echoing throughout the empty space. Despite that, she feels suffocated, as her back is pulled into the wall and she is unable to move an inch. His other hand travels down her thigh, along her black stockings* Aki… *grabs his wrist, gently pulling it away from her* I don’t… *glancing away from him, blushing heavily* …I don’t think we should be doing…. something like this…

Akihiko: *gazing down at her with an undecided look on his face* …Yeah. I-I know. Sorry. *trying to control himself as much as possible* What am I doing… I shouldn’t let myself get so distracted in Tartarus. But… *his eyes can’t seem to pull away from her in the maid costume, she notices and pulls down the bottom of the dress in an attempt to cover the legs he doesn’t realize he’s staring at*

Hamuko: H-h-hey!! Stop that! It’s embarrassing…! *beaming red* What’s gotten into you, senpai?! This is so… *clenches tightly onto the bottom of the dress, noticing that she’s conflicted with enjoying the attention, while at the same time wanting to continue the Tartarus expedition seriously* Why are you…. acting this way?

Akihiko: *gulping really hard, appears to be just as conflicted* I’m... sorry. This really isn’t how I should be behaving with our leader, huh..

Hamuko: *pause* …Aigis and Ken are still exploring the floor beneath us. We were going to meet up with them here, remember? *crossing her fingers together* We need to stick to the plans, so…

Akihiko: Right… Let’s get moving then. *turns away from her and starts walking on. Suddenly, he feels her grip firmly onto the back of his vest, which stops him in his tracks*

Hamuko: We need to keep going, but…

Akihiko: *faces her. She suddenly leans against him*

Hamuko: But I… *her grip on his vest tightens, her face cringes with hesitance* … *looks up toward him* Senpai… Um… *takes hold of his left hand, guiding it to her leg and allowing it to caress down her thigh* Wasn’t your hand… here awhile ago?

Akihiko: W-what?! *is red and stammering* I thought you said… *clears his throat, then speaks in a hushed tone* …I thought you said we shouldn’t be doing this…

Hamuko: Mm hm. *blushing like crazy* I-I know. We really shouldn’t be... But… *her hand still on top of his, still sliding it down her thigh*

Akihiko: *leaning closer towards her, still looking hesitant* But you… still want to? *closes his eyes as Hamuko opens her lips for him and slips her tongue into his mouth. He cradles the back of her head in his free hand, carefully holding her as she occasionally pulls away to take a breath. His other hand feels up her thigh and underneath her dress, boldly making his way into the front of her panties. He can’t help but notice she takes a sharp breath when his cold gloved finger gently caresses over her clit*

Hamuko: Ah! …Nng. Could you… *breath* …do that again? *wraps both her arms around his neck while her tongue entangles with his, having a hard time getting a breather. A foggy feeling sets into her head as she gets lost in his mouth and notices that he’s continued touching along her citreous again. Her legs arch as he suddenly buries a few of his fingers inside her, stroking along her inner walls the deeper he goes in* Ah… ah… *her eyes close tightly as she separates her legs even further, her teeth sinking into his bottom lip*

Akihiko: …I have an idea. *lowers himself to the floor before her*

Hamuko: …Hm?  *breathing*

Akihiko: *while on his knees, he lifts up the maid dress enough to expose her panties and shifts himself in between her legs. She holds onto the bottom of her garments for him as he urgently pulls down her panties, letting them fall to her lower legs. He positions his hands onto both sides of her clit, spreading her open enough as he moves forward to give her clit several long licks, breathing against her every so often*

Hamuko: !! Mmph! *taken by surprised, but loving every bit of it. While stepping out of her panties, she clamps her trembling hand over her mouth in response to his tongue trailing down to her entrance and lapping up her excess fluids, using her own wetness on his tongue as a lubrication against her clit*

Akihiko: ~…Her legs are shaking.~ *tilts his head to clamp his lips against her clit, sucking along it until he reaches her entrance again. Instead of his fingers, he pushes his tongue inside of her, using his fingers to rub her. The sounds of her soft moans echoing throughout the floor of Tartarus continue to tempt him while he attempts to lick at her walls. He pulls his tongue out as soon as he realizes that his tongue isn’t quite long enough to reach further inside of her, so he continues back to licking at her clit while using his fingers to play inside instead. Meanwhile, his free hand reaches her lower back and he works down and fondles her bottom*

Hamuko: *by now her mouth is consistently open to breathe and sigh, her face flushed and sweating. She suddenly jolts when she realizes where one of his fingers is touching* H-hey, senpai…?

Akihiko: *eyes closed, speaking in between licks* …Hm?

Hamuko: Ah.. You’re touching my…

Akihiko: … *didn’t realize it, but some of his fingers cupped around her buttocks and ended up touching something else* … !!! U-urk, sorry! *pulls his hand away*

Hamuko: Oh, it’s okay… Really. *fidgeting a bit*

Akihiko: D-did you… enjoy that? *confused and flustered as hell*

Hamuko: Um, sort of… *cuts her eyes away from him in embarrassment. She painfully sits through an awkward silence until he speaks up*

Akihiko:  ...Well then. *while he leans his face up in between her legs to lick her again, he moves his hand back toward her rear, using the tip of one finger to caress her. Sucking on her clit again, he can faintly make out the sound of her breathing from above. Without any warning, he slips a finger inside of her from behind*

Hamuko: !! Ah! Um… *still breathing sensually* A-are you sure you want to do that, Aki…?

Akihiko: *talking against her* Might as well try it…

Hamuko: …Mmph. *is surprised by the sudden feeling of butterflies in her stomach from the sound of his breathy voice underneath her. She finds her thoughts racing as pleasure overwhelms her in multiple areas. She can’t help but wonder what would happen if Aigis and Ken were to see them in this situation* ~This is so embarrassing…  So why can’t we stop? We know we shouldn’t be doing this, but here we are…~ *her hands rest along the back of Akihiko’s back, working her nervous fingers through his short hair as she trembles* Mmm… ~Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve seen any shadows on this floor…~ *opens her eyes to see a small shadow off in the distance in another corridor* … ~We shouldn’t be doing this… We really shouldn’t be. But…~ …Keep going… ah…

Akihiko: *is working his tongue along her inner walls again, flicking his tongue before he pulls out and laps at her soaked entrance. Two of his fingers are moving in and out of her other hole. He can’t help but grin when he notices her entire body is trembling even harder than before* You can’t seem to stay still, can you?

Hamuko: *panting* Nng… Oh.

Akihiko: …Mind if we change things up a bit? *gets off the floor and stands, taking hold of her wrists and positioning her arms so that her palms press against the walls* Bend over. *watches her awkwardly bend herself while looking back at him, wanting to know what he has in mind* Alright… *starts undoing his belt and opening up his black slacks. He removes his erection, grabs her hips, and rams it into her *

Hamuko: …Oh! *notices he’s already thrusting hard and fast, she hangs her head in pleasure* Mmph! *breathing loud and heavy, forgetting about everything around her, even the possibility that Aigis and Ken might come up on this floor and hear her* Senpai! …Ah!

Akihiko: *keeps a firm grip on her hips as he moves with her, a strained expression on his face* …Ugh. *tightly closes his eyes and lowers his head, cursing under his breath. His eyes open to Hamuko’s moans getting louder* …Hey… Let’s try to stay quiet… alright? *breathing* It may be hard, but…

Hamuko: *self conscious all over again* ...Okay… *forms her hands into fists against the wall and clenches them together in a feeble attempt to stay quiet* …

Akihiko: *gritting his teeth under pressure* …It’s not easy… *trails a hand up her front side and grabs a hold of one of her breasts that he’s noticed are shifting under her dress* …but just for a little longer. *leans his face in closer to the back of her neck, unintentionally breathing on it and causing her to tremble*

Hamuko: *can hear nothing but the sound of him moving in and out of her. She keeps her eyes closed as well as her mouth* …Mmph…

???: Sanada-san? Hamuko-san? Are you here?

*as soon as Ken’s voice echoes out through the floor, the two immediately freeze and go into a panic. Akihiko quickly pulls away from her and zips up his pants while Hamuko fixes her maid costume and tidies up her hair*

Hamuko: *her heart’s still pounding from everything, so she takes a steady breath in an attempt to calm down. She picks up the naginata from the floor, and tries her best to go back into “leader” mode* …Yes, we’re still here!

Akihiko: *nervously putting on his boxing gloves as he hears Aigis and Ken’s footsteps descend from a corridor near their location*…

Aigis: *stepping in* I apologize for the late arrival.

Ken: Yeah, Aigis-san and I encountered some pretty large shadows downstairs. They were powerful… I didn’t expect shadows that powerful to appear on these floors… *glances over at Akihiko* You two have had your hands full too, huh? It looks like you cleared out almost all of the shadows on this floor.

Hamuko: Huh?

Akihiko: *visibly tired* There were more shadows than usual when we first got here. We had to take so many on that I lost count of how many there were…  There’s probably a few left, though. *lying out of his ass*

Aigis: Are you fatigued? We can return to the dorm if you require rest.

Hamuko: …I wouldn’t mind, how are you two?

Ken: Well the Dark Hour’s about over anyway, so we can head back, Hamuko-san.

Akihiko:  Alright. *with Aigis leading the way, they start heading back. He glances over at Hamuko, who seems to have a guilty conscious* …Hamuko.

Hamuko: *looks up at him* Huh?

Akihiko: *leans over to her ear* Could you… come back with me?

Hamuko: … *louder than she realizes* …You mean?!

Akihiko: …Yes. But keep your voice down!...

-Dorm-

Junpei: *tauntingly* Sheesh! You guys are seriously pissing me off; I haven’t fought in Tartarus in days! You better take me next time, got that, Hamu-chan?

Hamuko: *smiling nervously* Of course. ^^;

Junpei: Ah, oh well. Well I’m hittin’ the hay. See ya in the morning! *heads up the stairs*

Hamuko:  … *standing in the lounge by herself. She glances around to make sure she’s alone, and starts heading up the stairs as well. When she arrives at Akihiko’s dorm room, she knocks quietly. As she waits for him to answer, she gets nervous like usual* …

Akihiko: *opens the door to her* Hey.

Hamuko: *comes in, still fidgeting* …Um, so. *attempting to mentally prepare herself for what comes next* … *looking at him expectantly*

Akihiko: *sits down on his bed, catching a glimpse of her gaze* …On second thought, not tonight. I’m pretty tired. *looks at her* What? You don’t have to look at me like that, I won’t do anything. *grinning. He motions her with his hand*

Hamuko: *sits by him awkwardly on the bed, unable to loosen up for some reason*

Akihiko: … *wraps his arms around her and pulls her to the bed* I figured since we don’t have school in the morning, we could pick up from where we left off then…

Hamuko: Oh… *blushing* Alright, senpai. *holding him back, grinning*

Akihiko: Until then… *rubs her hair with his hand, smiling gently at her* Goodnight.

November, 2009

Hamuko: …Nng… *breathing as quiet as possible in her silent room. Akihiko’s by her side and has been asleep ever since he mistakenly drifted off earlier, and she tries her best to not wake him. Her legs shift around silently, her hands busy at work underneath the sheets.*

Akihiko: *his eyes slowly open to the feeling of the mattress moving under him. He’s in a daze and finds himself to be confused by his surroundings, unable to remember falling asleep in the leader’s room. Despite all of this, he doesn’t budge and allows his thoughts to clear. Suddenly, he hears faint breathing to the left of him. Hamuko’s lying next to him curled up on her side and facing away from him. He noticed her propped up leg is shaking, her toes curling up.* … ? *he almost speaks to her when it suddenly hits him*

Hamuko: *her trembling hand tightly grips onto the mattress sheet, panting wildly.* …Nnnn. Oh…

Akihiko: *suddenly wide awake, a look of surprise on his face* !! … ~Is she…? She couldn’t be…~ *stays still and keeps himself quiet. His eyes are focused intently on her, watching her every move. He finds it very hard to avert his eyes as he notices that from behind, he can see her fingers shift in and out of her, her panties pushed aside. Many thoughts race through his head while he bites into his lip, unsure of what to do at this point. As much as he wanted to pretend to be asleep, somehow he’s unable to bring himself to do it.*

Hamuko: *suddenly plops onto her back, breathing heavily. She attempts to catch her breath, looking at the tips of her fingers that have been laced with her fluids.* …Wait. *almost forgetting that Akihiko was sleeping beside her, she quickly averts her eyes to him, without even giving him a chance to fake sleep. His open eyes are gazing back at her.* …Ahhhhhhh!  >__<!!

Akihiko: *quickly clamps her mouth* Keep it down, will you?! The others are sleeping!

Hamuko: *her speech is muffled, he pulls his hand away* A-a-a-aki?! Y-you were--?!

Akihiko: *just as speechless as she is, waving his hands around* L-look, it’s not my fault! Really, I-I just woke up and---

Hamuko: Y-you saw?! You saw me? *beaming red*

Akihiko: But I was asleep in the same bed with you!

Hamuko: …! I know! I-I just…!

Akihiko: *sighs, blushing* …Alright. *wiping at his face* …Let’s just… try to calm down for a minute before we wake up the whole dorm. *looking down at her, on the verge of sweating* I-it’s not like I was expecting to see that when I woke up…  Besides, it’s not like… I p-particularly mind all that much… *pauses, realizing* W-wait a second, what I MEANT to say was--!

Hamuko: *is blankly staring at his lap* …

Akihiko: *notices* …W-what are you looking at?

Hamuko: That.*pointing at his lap*

Akihiko: ?! *looking down at himself* !!! *quickly jerks a blanket over himself, hiding his “problems”* Dammit, how did I end up in here anyway?! W-with you… doing that to yourself… *sweating ferociously* …

Hamuko: … *smiling at his nervousness* Hee hee… *starts laughing*

Akihiko: W-what on earth are you laughing abou--

Hamuko: It’s okay, it’s okay! Really! It’s just… I was surprised, is all. But it’s okay because if I were to have anyone see me, I’d… want it to be you. *averts her eyes, embarrassed from her words* B-besides, I figured you’d wake up eventually, but once I was done, I didn’t think I had woken you up, so…. *grabs her head* Argh, I can’t believe we’re talking about this…! *looking at him, still blushing, a pouty look on her face* Could… could you please forget what you saw? *bows her head to him, her hands together* Please?!

Akihiko: … *reaches his hand out to her, placing it on top of her head* That’s not going to be easy… *grips onto her hand*  …considering how… *suddenly noticing that the fingers on the hand he’s grabbed is wet from her* … ! *quickly pulls away, looking spooked as hell*

Hamuko: …*sweat drops. They stare at each other nervously as the room suddenly goes silent* ...Senpai. What did you see, anyway?

Akihiko: *gulps really hard* Well, I… *has trouble finding words as he watches her move closer to him. She positions herself in his lap, her arms enveloping around him.* Your fingers… They were…

Hamuko: Yeah? *having slight discomfort from sitting against his boner* … -_-;; *readjusts herself so that her crotch is up against his. Placing her face into his neck, Hamuko gives him soft kisses down to his collar bone*

Akihiko: … *breathes steadily* You have to understand that I woke up by the end of it… *feels her breath against his neck and he trembles* I couldn’t really see much of anything besides your back and your…  fingers.

Hamuko: My fingers?

Akihiko: *glances off* Y-you don’t seriously expect me to say what you were doing with them, do you--*hears something and he looks down at her, only to see two of her fingers are sunk inside of her. Aki watches awkwardly as she slowly pulls them out and repeat the process several times, noticing how moist her fingers are* …

Hamuko: *looks up to him to see his reaction and she can tell right away that he’s tense, speechless, and hesitant.  She fights to smile at his confusion*

Akihiko: *grimaces* You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?

Hamuko: What about you…?

Akihiko: *sigh* …I can’t seem to get myself to budge. I don’t even know if I should do what’s been crossing my mind this entire time…

Hamuko: But why? *pulls him back into her arms* It’s not like it’s the first time we’ve been this way before... You don’t have to be hesitant, just do whatever you feel like doing… *smile* Okay?

Akihiko: *wrapping his arms around her waist* Are you sure about that?

Hamuko: *eyes closed* Mm hmm… Of course. *suddenly she feels him grip onto her shoulders and pull her into a firm lip lock, her tongue laced with his. She struggles to breathe amidst all this, seeing how he won’t seem to let her go. She jerks away to take a breath, only for Aki to shove his tongue in her mouth before she gets a chance to finish.* Mmph…

Akihiko: *pulls his back away from the wall that’s been supporting him up to this point and pushes her on her back into the bed, his hands cupped to her breasts. Though he’s not aware of it, he’s softly grinding into her*

Hamuko: *her right arm still around him, gripping onto the back of his white button up shirt. Her other hand has a finger looped around the ribbon on his collar. While his lips trail off to her cheek and ear, she gets a good chance to get some air* …This is so sudden, Aki… *breathing*

Akihiko: *pulls away from her neck and gazes at her* Isn’t this what you wanted?

Hamuko: *seems really embarrassed* Well, yes but…

Akihiko: Then how do you suppose we should go on from here? *voice sounding soft and serious*

Hamuko: … *motions herself upward, which signals him to move and allow her to get off the bed. She steps onto the floor and stands, unbuttoning her white uniform top. She lets him watch as she slowly opens her shirt and remove it. Her bra straps slip off of her shoulders and fall to mid arm; she works them off and undoes the fastener in the back, allowing her bra to land straight into the floor at her feet. With his eyes still fixated on her, the tips of her fingers makes their way into the sides of her panties, she pushes them off of her hips and lets them drop to the floor, stepping out of them. Her bare figure nervously approaches him on the bed, sitting herself down beside him*

Akihiko: …Uh. *breathlessly viewing her*

Hamuko: *notices* You’re staring… >////<

Akihiko: …Oh! Oh, um, s-sorry. *looking away biting his lip* … *sees her inch toward him in the corner of his eye and wrap her arms around him. He can feel her removing the ribbon at his collar and begins to unbutton his uniform top* I-I can do that… *her breasts press into his exposed chest, he looks down at this* …Urk. *her blushing face gazes up at him, he can’t stop himself from scooping her breasts into his gloved hands and caressing her with his thumbs*

Hamuko: Mmph… Oh… *squirms and closes her eyes from the sensation. She gives him a grip onto his sleeve*

Akihiko: *watching her reaction, he decides to lean down and give her several long licks to her nipple. Hamuko’s breathing rises as he presses his lips to her and sucks. He notices that her hand has traveled down to his pants and she’s doing everything she can to remove his belt and open his pants* Mm… *with a sigh, he goes to her other breast and does the same as he helps her with his pants. As soon as he gets them open, he removes his shaft and she immediately wraps her hands around it, stroking at him impatiently* Nn… *as his lips trail across her chest, his gaping mouth occasionally lets out soft moans, his hands maneuvering all over her. His left hand plays with her left breast, his right hand slides down her stomach and teases her crotch with the tips of his fingers* …Oh. That’s right. *his fingers jerk out from inside her and he steadily removes his gloves as Hamuko’s hands continuously caresses him. After discarding his gloves, he lies his back down into the bed, allowing her to continue. Soon enough, he starts to notice that she’s begun to use her mouth instead of her palm.*

Hamuko: *with her hand gripped along the base, she moves his shaft in and out of her mouth, increasing the pressure against him as she continues. Her lips perch around the head, shifting her tongue all around it. She steadily breathes against it before ramming it firmly into her mouth again, going at a quick pace. The feeling of Aki’s hand caressing up her inner thigh returns, his fingers enters inside of her again and again, harder each time. She finds herself raising up the bottom half of her body, allowing his arm enough room.*

Akihiko: *as the tip of his shaft reaches into the back of her throat, his fingers have moved on to her citreous, moistening it with his slick fingers. Using the tips of two of his fingers, he applies pressure to it and rubs at it in a quick motion, all while hanging back his head and gasping for air* Nng… *lifts his head up enough to see what she’s doing below* Ah… You don’t have to do all that…

Hamuko: *pulls it out of her mouth long enough to speak* …But I want to… *gives him a pouty face*

Akihiko: ...Oh. Well then… *can see that she’s resumed. The feeling of the inside of her mouth and the back of her throat against him is driving him crazy. His free hand grips into the bed sheets* …

Hamuko: Mmph… *notices his shaft throb inside of her mouth. Hamuko replies with a smile and gives him one last lick on the tip before stopping and instead carries soft kisses up his hips and stomach*

Akihiko: *still catching his breath* …Nn. Now I’m…  actually a little disappointed that you stopped. *watches her climb on top of him. He catches himself staring at her breasts again* …

Hamuko: *leans her face into his chest* Senpai…

Akihiko: *his breathing is returning to normal* ...Yeah?

Hamuko: …You’re wearing… way too many clothes… =_=;; *finishes unbuttoning the rest of his shirt* There! *opens!*

Akihiko: Urk! I-I can do that myself! *grimaces from embarrassment. There is a pause before he starts to remove his pants. He notices she’s watching them as he pulls them off his legs* …Uh.

Hamuko: What’s the matter? *tilts her head to the side, beaming* ^_^

Akihiko: Urm… It’s nothing. *tosses his pants aside and looks at her. She seems to have an excited lookin her eyes* …What’s gotten you so excited?

Hamuko: *smiling* Lay down for me, will you?

Akihiko: …But I don’t even have my—

Hamuko: *pulls him down to the bed, mounted on top of him* Relax. *still smiling at him, who seems a little tense and doesn’t know he should be expecting*

Akihiko: …So what exactly do you have in mind, anyway?

Hamuko: …Close your eyes.

Akihiko: Are you serious? *is still hesitant, but closes his eyes regardless*

Hamuko: *shuffles down a little while on top of him. She opens his red boxers, her lips ends up touching the tip of his shaft yet again, steadily slipping it inside of her mouth*

Akihiko: …Oh. *breathes* This again?

Hamuko: *quickens the pace on him suddenly, surprising him a bit. With her eyes closed, she keeps at it hard and fast to the point where her own saliva is trickling down her own chin*

Akihiko: Nng… I gotta say… As the leader, you’re pretty multitalented.

Hamuko: *slows down, pulls it out of her mouth briefly* What are you implying, hm? *satisfied with his reaction from all this*

Akihiko: You seem to know… just how to-- *she rams it back into her mouth even deeper this time* Ah! …Ngh. You manage to know how to do all this just right. *breathing lightly* As for me, I’m clueless… At least I think so anyway…

Hamuko: *looking up at him, noticing he’s still able to talk pretty well* …Hm.

Akihiko: …So. When can I open my eyes?

Hamuko: Not yet. *keeps at it, maintaining a good pace. She notice his thighs shake before she quickly slips away and sits herself on top of him and starts riding him without warning*

Akihiko: !! Ah! *eyes still closed, grips onto her hips as she maneuvers herself. He starts to move with her while she eases upward on him. He’s surprised by how wet she is on the inside, having no trouble at all with thrusting* …

Hamuko: You can open your eyes now, senpai. *while she’s straddling him furiously, he opens his eyes to the sight of her and her bare body on top of him, noticing how much her breasts and hair are moving about with her. She greets him with a faint smile before she leans into him and places a firm kiss on his lips. Her tongue goes into his mouth while she shows no signs of slowing down the lower half of her body.*

Akihiko: *quickly jerks away to give himself a breather, a strained expression on his face* …Nng… Ah. *lifts his head up from the mattress and sits the upper half part of his body vertically so that Hamuko is now in his lap. Her arms wrap around his hips, he in turn wraps his own arms around her, holding her close* Keep going…

Hamuko: *bounces herself in his lap, catching her breath against his chest. She notices he’s doing the same in her ear, trying very hard to control himself. Suddenly his hands firmly grip around her waist and while holding onto her, he jerks her up and down on him* A-Aki…

Akihiko: …I can’t hold out for much longer. *gasping for air as he continues, a sensation going up his spine*…Urgh. Dammit… *gritting his teeth together*

Hamuko: *her eyes closed, she bears with him until he suddenly jerks out of her* !

Akihiko: *still breathing heavily as he holds the end of his shaft* Ah… *pauses, looking at her.* Well. *pulls up his hand, looking at his moist palm* …That wasn’t the smartest idea. *he hears her audibly snicker* !! Laughing at me again?

Hamuko: Hehe, s-sorry, that’s just so-- *when he thinks she isn’t looking, he swiftly wipes his hand onto her bed sheet* ! Hey! What’s the big idea?!

Akihiko: Huh? …Oh. *looks at the smear on the sheet* Sorry, I wasn’t thinking—

Hamuko: When that dries, everyone’s gonna know just what that is, clear as day! D:

Akihiko: *picking up his white shirt* Well it’s not like I’m going to let it get on my clothes, I have school in the morning… *pauses* Shit! What time is it?!

Hamuko: “What time is it?” … *realizes as well* Wait a minute; we have school in the morning! *holding her head* …Oh man. How did I forget?!

Akihiko: …Ugh. I forgot also. When I woke up earlier, for some reason I had thought that it was Saturday night. *suffering* We have school in the morning, and here we are, doing all this… *picks up his cell phone off the night stand* …Dammit, it’s 4 am. *stands, quickly putting on his shirt* Well I suppose I should head back to my room now, it’s bad enough that I happened to fall asleep in here when I did.

Hamuko: … Okay. *making a pouty face*

Akihiko: *notices that she’s pouting* …C’mon now. *places his hand on top of her head* Even with the dorm now knowing that we’re together, for us to come out of your room together in the morning would just weird everyone out. Not to mention we’ll never hear the end of it from the likes of Junpei. I think it’s for the best. *looking down at her, she’s still naked. Cough* …So put on your pajamas and get some sleep, alright?

-Next morning-

Hamuko: …Ugh. *comes out of her room looking groggy. She meets Fuuka in the hall*

Fuuka: Oh! Good morning, Hamuko-chan! Did you sleep well? *notices her miserable expression* …Not very well, I take it. *laugh*

Hamuko: *drags herself down the stairs with Fuuka* Ugh… I am so groggy… *when she gets to the lobby, she plops herself down on the couch, wishing she could lay down on it and go back to sleep. She gives in and plops herself down on it, lying on her side. Her head bumps into Koromaru, who’s lying next to her*

Koromaru: *greets her all dog-like* Ruff!

Hamuko: *sigh* What a way to start the day, feeling like this…

???: *a voice behind her* I didn’t sleep very well either.

Hamuko: Hm? *looks up and sees Akihiko standing behind the cough, his uniform jacket hung over his shoulder* Oh… Um. *sudden blush*

Junpei: *walks through stretching* Damn, I’m starved. *sees Aki and Hamu* You wanna go grab some food on the way to school?

Hamuko: Oh… sure! *sits herself up and stands, trying to mask how she feels*

Junpei: *laugh* Wow, you don’t look so good. Got a cold or somethin’?

Hamuko: *they walk away, becoming harder to hear* Not a cold, per se…  Just tired. *pause* Think I’ll take a nap in the nurse’s office later…

End
